Anyone who has watched President Douchebag without TOTUS knows that the dude may be able to shoot a free throw, but he can’t put a complete sentence together.

What Mr. Midwest noticed recently is that both Ayers in Parent and Obama in Dreams make reference to the poet Carl Sandburg. In itself, this is not a grand revelation. Let us call it a C-level match. Obama and Ayers seem to have shared the same library in any case. Both talk of reading the books of Malcolm X, James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, W.E.B. Dubois and Frantz Fanon among others. In fact, each misspells “Frantz” as “Franz.”

Ayers and Obama, however, go beyond citing Sandburg. Each quotes the opening line of his poem “Chicago.” From Dreams:

He poured himself more hot water. “What do you know about Chicago anyway?”

I thought a moment. “Hog butcher to the world,” I said finally.

From Parent:

“At the turn of the century, Chicago had a population of a million people and was a young and muscular city – hub of commerce and industry, the first skyscraper city, home of the famous world exposition, “hog butcher to the world” – bursting with energy.”

This I would call a B-level match. What raises it up a notch to an A-level match is the fact that both misquote “Chicago,” and they do so in exactly the same way. The poem actually opens, “Hog butcher for the world.”

Last week, the first email I received from Mr. West had in the message box “759 striking similarities between Dreams and Ayers’ works.” This claim seemed so outsized I did not take it seriously. When I was unable to open the documents, I emailed Mr. West back, asked him to reformat, and then forgot about the email. He resent his documents a few days later.

That’s just a sample of the litany of detective work that is quite compelling. Read the whole thing and see if you think there’s a match.

It’s just another lie in a long list of lies from a lying liar President. The most historic thing about this Presidency may be that President Hussein is able to get away with more lies in his first five months than President Clifford did in eight years.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Billy Mays, the burly, bearded television pitchman whose boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean made him a pop-culture icon, has died. He was 50.

Tampa police said Mays’ wife found him unresponsive Sunday morning. A fire rescue crew pronounced him dead at 7:45 a.m. It was not immediately clear how he died. He said he was hit on the head when an airplane he was on made a rough landing Saturday, and his wife, Deborah Mays, told investigators he didn’t feel well before he went to bed about 10 p.m. that night.

Michael Jacksonâ€™s shtick was simply a more sophisticated, well financed variation on the molester with an ice cream truck. When after paying millions to his young accuser, Jordy Chandler, Jackson was later found to have gay porn producer Marc Schaffel, an un-indicted co-conspirator in Jacksonâ€™s 2005 child molestation trial, as his PERSONAL VIDEOGRAPHER and close pal on the very private grounds of Neverland Ranch.

…

Well, a year later, Schaffel was back at Neverland and again acting as Jacksonâ€™s personal videographer who chronicled the taping of the famous Martin Bashir BBC documentary that later appeared on ABC in the U.S., which centered around two young brothers hanging with Jackson and Schaffel as their â€˜chaperonesâ€™ at the creepy amusement park cum bachelor pad.

Why did Michael Jackson bring back the gay porno producer to use a video camera to oversee kid trips to Neverland AFTER it was admitted by Jacksonâ€™s own people the Jackson/Schaffel alliance was blatantly improper?

Needless to say, it doesn’t end with “a world in mourning falls on it’s knees to curse God for denying us another 40 years of bizarre, criminal behavior”.

But boy, could he spin on his toes and grab his crotch (as well as the crotches of others) with the best of them!

I’ll grab mine, now you grab yours!

It was a nice reprieve while it lasted though.Â We could turn on the television or the internet without hearing about North Korea threatening nuclear war, Iran shooting young women in the face, an economy being dragged behind the pick-up truck of the Obama administration,Â passing the largest energy use tax in history, sending terrorists on a taxpayer funded island getaway, or the government taking over the healthcare industry.

But anyway – how’s Bo doing?Â Is Christ On Earth still stealing a Newport when he gets a chance? Admittedly, a hazard of the trade when you’re passing out all those cigarettes to homeless people in exchange for votes for so many years.Â That just means he’s human!Â I was getting worried there for a second.

Leave it to Memeorandum to give us a snapshot of the most important story of the day.

We needed someone to take the heat of President Pyrite before those geological sleuths in the old media assayed his ass for snubbing them in favor of the Huffington Post while Rahm Emanuel winked and laughed in their pasty, white faces.

All those dead people in Iran gunned down for listening to closely to the codewords in the Muslim Moses’ speech thinking that he was going to save them, or at least stand up for them and the biggest story is a nobody governor.

But this is important.Â It’s just sex, people.Â Isn’t that what we always hear?Â Sex between consenting adults.

You can’t report on Edwards’ affair until he’s cornered in a hotel lobby.Â Not even then. Â Can’t investigate Obama’s girlfriend at all.Â Â Â These are guys that were running for President.Â You think someone can hide smoking and have no one report on it for 8 months hasn’t bought silence on worse issues than that?

Hell, Clinton ran for President and no one ever asked her how she handled her husband cheating on her and staying married to him.

Sanford’s a nobody.Â Rumored to be thinking about doing something 3 years from now.

It’s all about power and people on the Right need to quit playing games and destroy these people when you get the chance because they are sure as hell going to do it to you.

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has scheduled a vote Friday on a sprawling climate-change bill, signaling the Democratic leadership’s confidence that it can overcome objections from Farm Belt Democrats.

Opponents and supporters of landmark climate legislation are ramping up their public-relations campaigns ahead of the planned vote. The Obama administration is pushing the measure as a job-creator, while critics, including many Republicans, are portraying the bill as an energy tax that could slow the economy.

Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Ms. Pelosi, said in an email late Monday evening: “There are some issues still under discussion, but we are confident we can resolve them by the time the bill goes to the floor on Friday.”

The bill aims to cap greenhouse-gas emissions at 17% of 2005 levels by 2020 and at roughly 80% by 2050, creating a market for companies to buy and sell the right to emit carbon dioxide and other gases. It also mandates a new renewable electricity standard and establishes new national building codes.

It would mark the first time that either of the two chambers of Congress have voted to impose mandatory reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions — a goal President Barack Obama wants to achieve before a round of international climate talks in December in Copenhagen.

Mr. Obama on Tuesday said the House climate bill is “extraordinarily important for our country,” urging House members “to come together and pass it.” The president said it would create millions of new “green” jobs that can’t be shipped overseas.

When I called Corker’s office earlier, I got the usual non-committal double-speak, which is not surprising given his history with the McShame gang-of-ten and their eco-nitwittery. At least Alexander and Representative Duncan would give me a firm “no” vote against any cap-and-trade bills. Oh well, that won’t stop me from calling.

Let your Senators know that they need to grow a pair and preserve what’s left of our economy.

Meteorologists are reluctant to call a month “nice.” They have their data and their science and typically do not describe the weather in such subjective terms.

Except now, because the data prove it.

“It’s probably the best June since I’ve been here, and I’ve been here most of my life,” said the National Weather Service’s Valerie Meyers, who is in her late 40s. “It’s been really nice.”

Thursday, however, was the 14th consecutive day to stay below 100 degrees. That’s the longest stretch of its kind in any June since 1913.

The lower temperatures have allowed people to sleep with windows open and drive with their arms out vehicle windows. Evenings, too, have been spent chatting with neighbors while children or grandchildren play.

Good God people! I am sorry that you lost your home and I am sure it must be an absolutely horrible thing to go through. But why on Earth do you feel that the Federal Government should buy you out? Why on Earth would you WANT the Federal Government bail you out?

Can we divide the country up into idiots and non-idiots? That way, those of us who do not wish to associate with idiots can live in peace.

Now it can be said, Protein Wisdom is one of the most intelligent blogs I’ve read. However, something interesting happened over the years; Jeff’s armadillos, “meta” humor and Billy Jack pieces started to get old and I found myself more interested in Collins’ work.

Glad to see Dan out on his own makin’ a name for himself. Read it, bookmark it, live it.

Though he didn’t campaign for President sending his cancer-riddled wife out to flack for him, nor was he the sitting governor of New Jersey involved in some bizarre menage a trois, or the sitting governor of New York with a penchant for call girls, or….still.Â He preached “standards” and we can’t have that.

When you see a smoker who tells you that smoking is bad – don’t believe ’em, kids.

Lynch mobs are all the rage.Â But don’t take my word for it.Â This week featured some hanging judges that would have made Roy Bean look like Jim J. Bullock in a short-sleeved button up with a pink sweater tied around his waist.

She did not create the e-mail.Â She did not create the picture in question.Â It was not coordinated by a political campaign.Â But, she worked for the state and worse (A Republican…ssssh!)Â now the liberals have taken the noose that their Democrat grandaddies kept in the closet for their special nighttime barbecues and want to string them up an old lady in hopes of smearing her boss.

That’s politics in this day and age.Â These bloggy little Johnny Ringos are playing for blood but if the standard is now sending out offensive e-mails we can hit 40% unemployment next week.

Your lack of sensitivity offends me, lunger.

Wanna play for blood?

Whaddja say, young man?

If the standard is sending out offensive or politically charged e-mails from state computers then we can solve our budget crisis this month with all the layoffs and it will be the Democrats who infest our government jobs that will bear the brunt of The People’s Budget Windfall.Â Better yet, let’s expand this to state employees who are forced to work for the re-election campaigns of their bosses or face reprisal – On My Dime ™.

But let’s focus on the rorschach of these images for a second and who gets outraged by what.Â Going back two years ago.

Example 1:

a.Â Crazy Islamists start burning down embassies in Denmark over this cartoon being published in a newspaper.

b.Â a local blogger published a crude stick figure of what can only be recognized as “Mohammed” because it has “Mohammed” written on it and holding a bomb.Â A local alt-douche outlet plays up the story and confronts his employer to get him fired.

Hobbsâ€™ stated pointâ€”that the media shouldnâ€™t be intimidated into self-censorship by angry mobs of Muslimsâ€”is fairly non-controversial….but by deliberately desecrating Islamâ€™s central figureâ€”â€œthe â€˜Prophet Mohammedâ€™ â€ as Hobbs sneered, using quote marks for sardonic emphasisâ€”he attacked an entire religion, not a group of fanatics who pervert the religionâ€™s teachings. Then he drew him as a bearded stick figure holding a bomb and said he â€œblows.â€ It seems bearded Muslim terrorists are the new big-nosed, money-grubbing Jews. …Yep. But thatâ€™s Hobbsâ€™ sophomoric, misguided brand of political humor.

Yes, I know I’ve been AWOL, but I’ve still been tuned in. The goings on in Iran should have everyone’s full attention – well, that attention that you’re not using to try and fight The Obamessiah’s USSA socialist Utopia. Our president can’t be bothered to “meddle” in Iran (this is because he’s likely on the side of the little Hitler and shares his love for general election fraud), but Howie has some suggestions on how to help the Iranian protestors. The original site that carried this guide is down for the count, but more is at Mere Rhetoric.

The purpose of this guide is to help you participate constructively in the Iranian election protests through Twitter.

1. Do NOT publicise proxy IP’s over twitter, and especially not using the #iranelection hashtag. Security forces are monitoring this hashtag, and the moment they identify a proxy IP they will block it in Iran. If you are creating new proxies for the Iranian bloggers, DM them to @stopAhmadi or @iran09 and they will distributed them discretely to bloggers in Iran.

2. Hashtags, the only two legitimate hashtags being used by bloggers in Iran are #iranelection and #gr88, other hashtag ideas run the risk of diluting the conversation.

3. Keep you bull$hit filter up! Security forces are now setting up twitter accounts to spread disinformation by posing as Iranian protesters. Please don’t retweet impetuosly, try to confirm information with reliable sources before retweeting. The legitimate sources are not hard to find and follow.

4. Help cover the bloggers: change your twitter settings so that your location is TEHRAN and your time zone is GMT +3.30. Security forces are hunting for bloggers using location and timezone searches. If we all become ‘Iranians’ it becomes much harder to find them.

5. Don’t blow their cover! If you discover a genuine source, please don’t publicise their name or location on a website. These bloggers are in REAL danger. Spread the word discretely through your own networks but don’t signpost them to the security forces. People are dying there, for real, please keep that in mind…

As most of you already know, I’m a very lame Twitter user, but I’ve changed my timezone to Tehran and encourage others to at least do that. It may not have a big impact but muddying the waters for the little Hitler’s henchmen can’t hurt.

While I realize that Mousavi is not exactly a best friend to the U.S., he does represent a far more moderate islamic wing and has the support of the vast numbers of Iranian young people who are more open to Western ideas and freedom. Our Dear Leader may be on the side of the Mullahs, but we should use the power of information and whatever tools are available to help these protesters, who are literally being slaughtered for standing up against oppression. It’s a far cry from our tea party movement – though I’m sure Buurrrack, Rahm and Janet are taking copious notes.

The GOP wants to seat a moderate in Florida’s Senate seat being vacated by Mel Martinez. To that end, they endorsed Charlie Crist at the expense of Marco Rubio. DeMint isn’t toeing the company line, to his great credit.

Crossing Republican leaders, U.S. Sen. James DeMint of South Carolina is the first sitting senator to endorse former House Speaker Marco Rubio over Gov. Charlie Crist for the Senate.

“He is exactly the kind of Senator Florida needs, and exactly the kind of leader our party is looking for: a conservative’s conservative with a record of success in a swing state, a self-made first generation American, a dynamic Republican spokesman in two languages, a young husband and father himself dealing with the same problems middle class families like his face every day,” DeMint writes in today’s FOX News Forum.
